Famous Norwegians Dramatist’s Much-Discussed Play, 'Ghosts,' Will Be Produced January 24.
Student activity books may be used to secure admission to the National Collegiate Players’ annual play, which is to be presented in Ilovard auditorium Friday, January 24, according to William Miller, manager of university play productions.
Henrik Ibsen’s tragic drama, “Ghosts,” is the play which will be produced by the honorary dramatic fraternity. “Ghosts" is probably the most discussed of the famous Norwegian dramatist’s works, and not only did it arouse a storm of protest when it flrst appeared, but even now is the subject for much talk, both pro and con.
The drama is a problem play, dealing with the idea that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children. So Oswald Alving, played by William Miller, becomes the victim of his father’s youthful indiscretions and so Oswald’s mother, enacted by Marjorie Temple, learns that her lifelong sacrifice to keep her son from knowing what kind of a man his father was, has been in vain.
The ending of the play leaves the audience in doubt as to Oswald’s final fate. Ibsen wrote the drama, as he himself said, to move some boundary posts. He felt that the time had come when the world should know the truth about certain matters, and he felt that he was better qualified to write about them than any of the younger authors.
George Lawrence, president of National Collegiate Players, will play the role of Pastor Manders, the narrow-minded, hypocritical minister, who drove Mrs. Alving to open rebellion, and who also forced her to go back to her husband.
Paul Kiepe will be Jacob Eng-strand, the old crippled man whom Regina, played by Betty Fennimore, thinks is her father. Itegina is the maid in the Alving household aud it is she who furnishes the reason for the* title of the play.
The production is being directed by W. Kay MacDonald, university play director.

Rush Group Will Decide On Affairs
Fraternity on S. C. Campus on Pledging Rules, Consider New Plans.
Just what the wishes of the fraternities on the Southern California campus are concerning rushing rules will be made known soon when the Rushing Rules committee of the Interfraternity Council, headed by Mulvey White, makes a thorough inquiry by means of questionnaires sent to each house. As many houses have expressed dissatisfaction with the present ruling, the committee plans to obtain copies of the rushing rules of leading universities throughout the country to study their good points.
STUDENT OPINION
Opinions upon the present system were expressed by several house presidents when interviewed:
Mulvey White, Sigma Chi—“We’ll have to abide by the present rules next semester, as there will be only one more meeting of the Interfraternity council. The present rules are not exactly satisfactory, as they are too complicated and not all houses are abiding. I believe that they should be fewer and simpler and that they should be better enforced."
Lewis Gough, Theta Psi — "I feel that as long as U. C. L. A. has no rushing rules we must do away with them in order to meet their competition.” (Gough referred to the practice at other schools of pledging men while they are still in high school). "This is a problem with which we will have to cope in the future and we may as well take cognizance of it now.”
Glenn Johnson, Delta Phi Delta— "The rules involve complications which at present cannot be avoided. Men living in houses before pledging should be given more freedom during the non-communication period. A true adherence to a gentleman's agreement between fraternities would avoid many rush-rule problems."
Bill Hirsh, Zeta Beta Tau — “I think we should have rushing the flrst week of school. Thero will be less kicks all around. As it is we lose too many good men who would go here but go to other schools instead because they are pledged earlier."

Theron Clark, Registrar, Stresses Importance Of Summaries To Students In Checking Work.
To impress upon the mind of the Trojan student the importance of credit summaries, Theron Clark, registrar, today issued the following statement:
"The credit summary is a condensed report of the student’s work for the preceding semester. It is given at each half year period. It should be compared with preceding reports from semester to semester, and should be reviewed during the semester when the student is free from the rush of registration. Any necessary adjustments may then be made at tlie registrar’s ofllce.”
At some universities credit summaries are not given. The student Is forced to keep his own record of work done ,and often a considerable amount of grief ensues from his not having kept it accurately.
“A great deal of work is entailed in making out the report for each student each semester,” said Clark, "but we feel' that we are well repaid by the service it performs for the student in keeping an acurate account of his college record.”
Intended for the aid and assistance of teacher, advisor, and student, it is primarily destined fo ruse by the student. Realizing his responsibility, he will use it and study it to’ make out his program wisely.
The registrar believes in the educational value of each student working out his own course, choosing the subjects he believes will give him the greatest service in later life.
Besides the required subjects, he should investigate before choosing, and endeavor to select the subjects which will best attain liis objective. Over-specialization should be guarded against. Subjects furnishing a general background of knowledge, as well as studies specialized in the kind of work the student is planning to do, should be chosen.
Each summary is marked ‘‘tentative,” The printed summary is subject to correction by oflicial records at any time. The mimeographed report does not contain this latter statement, but is a move absolute compilation of the student’s record.

Rush Group Will Decide On Affairs
Fraternity on S. C. Campus on Pledging Rules, Consider New Plans.
Just what the wishes of the fraternities on the Southern California campus are concerning rushing rules will be made known soon when the Rushing Rules committee of the Interfraternity Council, headed by Mulvey White, makes a thorough inquiry by means of questionnaires sent to each house. As many houses have expressed dissatisfaction with the present ruling, the committee plans to obtain copies of the rushing rules of leading universities throughout the country to study their good points.
STUDENT OPINION
Opinions upon the present system were expressed by several house presidents when interviewed:
Mulvey White, Sigma Chi—“We’ll have to abide by the present rules next semester, as there will be only one more meeting of the Interfraternity council. The present rules are not exactly satisfactory, as they are too complicated and not all houses are abiding. I believe that they should be fewer and simpler and that they should be better enforced."
Lewis Gough, Theta Psi — "I feel that as long as U. C. L. A. has no rushing rules we must do away with them in order to meet their competition.” (Gough referred to the practice at other schools of pledging men while they are still in high school). "This is a problem with which we will have to cope in the future and we may as well take cognizance of it now.”
Glenn Johnson, Delta Phi Delta— "The rules involve complications which at present cannot be avoided. Men living in houses before pledging should be given more freedom during the non-communication period. A true adherence to a gentleman's agreement between fraternities would avoid many rush-rule problems."
Bill Hirsh, Zeta Beta Tau — “I think we should have rushing the flrst week of school. Thero will be less kicks all around. As it is we lose too many good men who would go here but go to other schools instead because they are pledged earlier."

Theron Clark, Registrar, Stresses Importance Of Summaries To Students In Checking Work.
To impress upon the mind of the Trojan student the importance of credit summaries, Theron Clark, registrar, today issued the following statement:
"The credit summary is a condensed report of the student’s work for the preceding semester. It is given at each half year period. It should be compared with preceding reports from semester to semester, and should be reviewed during the semester when the student is free from the rush of registration. Any necessary adjustments may then be made at tlie registrar’s ofllce.”
At some universities credit summaries are not given. The student Is forced to keep his own record of work done ,and often a considerable amount of grief ensues from his not having kept it accurately.
“A great deal of work is entailed in making out the report for each student each semester,” said Clark, "but we feel' that we are well repaid by the service it performs for the student in keeping an acurate account of his college record.”
Intended for the aid and assistance of teacher, advisor, and student, it is primarily destined fo ruse by the student. Realizing his responsibility, he will use it and study it to’ make out his program wisely.
The registrar believes in the educational value of each student working out his own course, choosing the subjects he believes will give him the greatest service in later life.
Besides the required subjects, he should investigate before choosing, and endeavor to select the subjects which will best attain liis objective. Over-specialization should be guarded against. Subjects furnishing a general background of knowledge, as well as studies specialized in the kind of work the student is planning to do, should be chosen.
Each summary is marked ‘‘tentative,” The printed summary is subject to correction by oflicial records at any time. The mimeographed report does not contain this latter statement, but is a move absolute compilation of the student’s record.
